Based on the age, this kid is a victim of a really weak set of parents and surrounding community that misled, misinformed, and ultimately failed him. He's now a broken shell of a person, and I can only pray that he encounters a mentor who will help him transcend the bullshit that has been heaped upon him, and set him on a new trajectory that would make him capable of hitting that beach.
Sad on many levels.
That kid needs serious intervention and help.
